UGH! The Drs office initially told me (2ce), once I get insurance approval they schedule me back with the surgeon and for pre-op testing and that surgery is typically within a month of that surgeon visit. Today I got my date for the pre-op testing (Dec 11) but won't see the surgeon until after that, probably on the 13th. (Initially they told me I'd likely do my pre-op visit with the surgeon within a week or so of getting insurance approval.) The coordinator in my surgeon's office is new, and different surgeons in the group do things a little differently, so I know she's giving me the best info she can at the time. But. UGH!

I hear ya I am Ugh too right now... wait wait wait, it sucks but what can u do...

I would be so mad and frustrated...

Good luck!!!! mine only took 4 business days to approve to hopefully you will get an answer soon...

Monday... she was not working this Friday. Hopefully she will answer .. but I try to speak to someone else on their Facebook page.. and he ask me where did I do my psychology test .. I guess the problem is between them two. Let’s see Monday.

Congrats !!! Happy for you ! I know it seems far but your Approved !!!!!
I on the other hand was told to call back Monday .

Ugh that sucks!!! good luck

I am also a moderate diabetic, when I had my consult with the dr to discuss which surgery to get I was told that due to the malabsorption part of bypass it helps lower blood sugar within a few days to weeks before significant weight loss. That is why i like chose the bypass.

I did, they said they have not receive anything from the doctor. But that was couple of days ago.
So I’m waiting to call my coordinator .. I don’t wanna be one of the lucky one to be forgotten on a pile of papers.
